* DrinkingContest: Scotty manages to drink a Kelvan under the table. Then he takes away the passed out Kelvan's magic belt buckle, planning to get it to Captain Kirk...right after he takes a little nap.
* EasilyForgiven: Justified. Kirk is willing to overlook the fact that the Kelvans hijacked his ship, ''and'' the fact that one of them ''killed'' one of his crew members, in order to talk them into peaceful settlement like he'd tried to at the beginning of the episode. Why justified? Well, you try telling SufficientlyAdvancedAliens that they're on trial for first degree murder.

* LoveMakesYouStupid: Rojan completely forgot he had a belt buckle that could freeze people or turn them into crushable blocks when he saw Kirk kissing Kelinda and attacked him manually. Kirk even points it out; he's too angry to think straight, and was already overstimulated ''before this''.

* NeutralFemale: When Kirk and Rojan get into a brawl, Kelinda stands around looking helpless, even though she's armed with a paralysis ray that could easily bring the fight to a halt. Given that she's a Kelvan woman overstimulated by Kirk's romance, she's no doubt still processing the new experience of being fought over (physically included), emotion-wise.

* StarfishAliens: What the Kelvans are in their true forms, as Spock glimpses briefly. Apparently they're giant squidlike things with a hundred arms, each of which they can control on independent tasks simultaneously. That'd be a strain even on a modern CGI budget, never mind Trek's (at least, not without looking seriously goofy). They also have no concept of love, food, drink or the like, having given all of it up in favor of intellectual pursuits.

* NotSoDifferentRemark: Rojan says to Kirk, "I think we're somewhat alike, captain." Because Rojan is the leader of his crew, and he recognizes that Kirk suffers when his crew suffers.
Added DiffLines:
* TitleDrop: When Kelinda is fascinated by flowers on the planet's surface, Kirk mumbles, "a rose by any other name." He then explains that this is a quote from the great human poet Creator/WilliamShakespeare.

* GoodOldFisticuffs: Rojan is so angry to find Kelinda with Kirk that he lets himself be drawn into a fistfight, even when Kirk dares him to just use his paralyzer. This proves to be the last straw that convinces him that he can't control the physical and emotional responses that come with taking human form.
